My experience of the 4090 is similarly positive. I ended up picking one up at a discount from a MicroCenter while I was traveling because someone had purchased it, realized when trying to install it into their case that it wouldn't fit, and then returned it. Probably the best purchase I've made all year as someone who plays video games, does some moderately intensive video editing for YouTube and likes playing around with local image generation and large language models.

My advice to anyone in the market for a new graphics card is to just save until you can get a 4090.
